Comment: what does it mean the word Nitz. What does it mean the phrase No Nitz? Is it just the negation of it or will it get an additional value with the word No? The conversation is biting and acrimonious undoubtedly over there. This 6-notch issue (which was initially segmented into 8 tracks and released on Oblast Records as a tape outing) is a part of the discography of CS Industrial 1982-2010, an imprint of which purpose is to provide examples from within the noise and (post-) industrial scene of Slovakia, and the Czech Republic. The result is harsh and rigid, and flamboyant in a sense. The outing starts off with a littered, intensified noise attack which later will be embellished with dystopian delays and echoes and hiss-filled samples from haunted transistors and spoken word cuts as if representing some sort of radiophonic play. Indeed, it needs to be considered more closely regarding the profound touch given to it. In a funny way, the album can be considered polyphonic because different aspects used to play at the same time. The self-titled track is a mocking version of how to learn English in a primitive way. By considering the noise music as a genre there a presumed purpose and a way to achieve it may seriously be hazed. Prolog is remarkable due to muezzin-alike repetitive lyrics, reverberant sparse drumming and a suggestive pre-delay effect being prevalent over there. Sludge is sexually suggestive due to a woman who speaks about her virginity and how to defend herself against a man's obtrusiveness and in general how to cope with her sexuality I guess (the words are heavily littered and interrupted). Indeed, it is a fine noise release.

Yoshiwaku – Back To The Tape (2016)

Improvised noise
Drone
Psycho-acoustic

Comment: this 7-track outing is a part of the discography of French Le Colibri Nècrophile and represents bright side of noise music. The bright side means noise in its playfulness, being represented through an innumerable amount of turns and dodges, iterative phrases and phase changes, galvanised thick whirlpools and distorted synth progressions. I adore the noise music because the genre is ready to allow almost everything into a mix. Sometimes additional channels will be added to get into the more sultry blend. What kind of phenomenon it should represent for I have no idea. Some sort of disease? The madness of the recent world? The tracks are long-lasting extending from an 8-minute span to a 14-minute span (with one exception of a 2-minute torrent). It is recorded live at Dole the 19th march 2016 and indeed it captures the uncompromisingly rough energy of a life performance. By the way, Yoshiwaku is a part of such an intriguing collective called Vivid Tribe of Psychics.

MOnOnOmOnOOtO – 架空の洞 (2014)

Ceramic

Indietronica
Art pop
Electronic
Alternative
Ethnotronica
IDM
Drone

Comment: this set of 6 compositions is based predominantly on rhythmic backbones, veering away from programmed angular cadences to more soothing exquisite rhythms to tabla and other ethnic drum induced percussions. Frequently the artsy rhythmic configurations are accompanied by dreamy droning, arousing electronic effects and more atmospheric, lofty electronica. One can enjoy a playful borderline between volatile shades and more visible structures. The subtle issue is a part of the Japanese imprint Ceramic Records.
